Treasure
Island (Signet Classics)
by Robert Louis Stevenson
Paperback from Signet Classics
ISBN: 0451530977
The timeless adventure
From young Jim Hawkins's first encounter with the sinister Blind Pew
to the climactic battle with the most memorable villain in literature,
Long John Silver, Treasure Island continues to thrill generations
of readers.
Climb aboard for the swashbuckling adventure of a lifetime. Treasure
Islandhas enthralled (and caused slight seasickness) for decades. The
names Long John Silver and Jim Hawkins are destined to remain pieces of
folklore for as long as children want to read Robert Louis Stevenson's
most famous book. With it's dastardly plot and motley crew of rogues and
villains, it seems unlikely that children will ever say no to this timeless
classic. --Naomi Gesinger |

Justin
And The Best Biscuits In The World
by Mildred Pitts Walter
Paperback from Scholastic Inc.
ISBN: 0590465198
Ten-year-old Justin hates that his sisters and his mama are always fussing
at him. They make him feel stupid because he can't clean his room or cook.
But why should he? He'd rather be outside playing. After all, cooking and
cleaning is just "women's work." That's why Justin is glad when his grandfather
invites him back to his ranch for the summer. Justin is sure he can get
away from all the women and do some actual "men's work," such as cleaning
fish, mending fences, and riding horses. But back at the ranch, Justin
learns some unexpected lessons and soon realizes that anyone can do anything
once they learn how.
Sure, he can catch a greased pig at a local rodeo, but can he bake biscuits?
Ten-year-old Justin struggles to "feel like a guy" in a family dominated
by females. When he goes to spend a week at his grandfather's ranch, he
discovers there's more to being a man than riding horses and tending to
livestock. There's also cleaning up messes, making beds and, from time
to time, baking biscuits--good biscuits. Along with its lighthearted treatment
of gender conflict, this story, which won the 1987 Coretta Scott King Award,
provides a look at the little-known history of the black cowboys who helped
settle the West and create rodeos. |

Magickal
Mermaids and Water Creatures
by D.J. Conway
Paperback from Career Press
ISBN: 1564147843
Stories of the Mer-Folk, especially Mermaids, exist in nearly every
culture around the world that sailed the oceans or large rivers. Human-like,
except for their iridescent, scaly tails, Mermaids and Mermen have fascinated
humans for thousands of years. Because the largest of these beings exist
in the oceans, most people are not aware that smaller versions of the Mer-Folk
live in inland rivers, streams, marshes, and large or small waterfalls.
Like many other magickal beings, the Mermaids travel easily between this
world and the astral planes, appearing only to those who truly seek to
know them and learn their ancient powers. Magickal Mermaids and Water Creatures
brings these fabled creatures out of the storybooks and into real life
through the studies of D. J. Conway. Within the pages you will learn about:
* The secret powers of Mermaids and Mermen. * Different water creatures
and where you can find them. * How to entice water folk for friendship
and health. * How to avoid dangerous water folk. |

Ricky
Ricotta's Mighty Robot (Astro-Activity Book O'Fun)
by Dav Pilkey
Paperback from Blue Sky Press
ISBN: 0439826012
Join Ricky and his Mighty Robot
as they take a break from saving the solar system from certain destruction.
With cool crossword puzzles, witty word finds, perplexing puzzles, and
just-hilarious jokes, this activity book is a whole galaxy of fun. It will
also include fun facts about the solar system and other super-duper space-related
stuff. As an added bonus, it will also include a free bound-in sticker
sheet featuring Ricky, his Robot, and the bad guys from each planet.The
Iron Giant meets Clifford the Big Red Dog in Dav Pilkey's Ricky
Ricotta's Giant Robot, the first book in an illustrated series for
early readers. Ricky is a young mouse who needs a friend, is bullied by
schoolmates, and is waiting for something BIG to happen. But he never expected
the arrival of anything as big as Dr. Stinky McNasty's giant robot, created
by the evil doctor to destroy all of Squeakyville. When the robot refuses
to demolish the town, however, Ricky steps up to save it from the ensuing
wrath of the maniacal doctor--twice! In some very Clifford-esque perspectives,
the friendly iron giant dwarfs Ricky's neighborhood, scares crows (and
bullies), and allows Ricky's new friends to ride on his back. In the end
children will be satisfied to see the doctor's secret cave detonated by
the very electro-rocket he wanted to use on his errant robot, and even
more satisfied to see the robot depositing Dr. Stinky McNasty into the
city jail. (Ages 6 and older) |
